GADSDEN — The Gridiron has a new look and a new no-smoking policy.

The restaurant, which features wings, burgers, stuffed potatoes, salads and sandwiches, has reopened after an extensive remodeling. Owner Jeremy Reeves said the remodel included doubling the inside seating capacity to almost 100, enlarging the restrooms, increasing the number of televisions from eight to 16 and redesigning the patio.

“One of the biggest changes, I would say, was going to non-smoking,” Reeves said. “Now people can come enjoy lunch and return to work not smelling like smoke.”

The restaurant at 201 S. Third St. is located in a one-time service station, and Reeves said customers still tell stories about visiting the station long ago. The building was built in the 1930s. The Gridiron originally opened there in 2005.

The Gridiron is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 11 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday.
